Earthwatch ‘Girls in Science’ Summer Fellowship for Diversity in STEM

Woods Hole Sea Grant, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and Earthwatch Institute will offer the Girls in Science (GiS) week-long summer fellowship, August 8-14 and August 15-21 for young women in Grades 10-11 in Massachusetts to promote diversity in STEM. In this free program, students work with a predominantly female team of researchers to learn about a variety of marine careers in STEM. Applications are particularly encouraged from groups historically underrepresented in the ocean sciences—especially with respect to gender identity/expression, race, or ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. There is no cost to the students, and food and accommodations will be provided if the program is held in-person. COVID restrictions may require the program to be hybrid or remote. For more information, see the Girls in Science flyer. Applications are open now and must include one or two teacher references by May 21.
